WrestleMania March Madness, Day Twenty-Nine: WrestleMania XXIX

7 April 2013
MetLife Stadium
East Rutherford, New Jersey - USA

Attendance: 80,676

Commentators: Michael Cole, Jerry 'the King' Lawler & JBL

My thoughts before this viewing:
I watched this show a day or two after it happened. It was boring. Just a bunch of rematches with the wrong people winning - but predictably, because I guess they should win or something. So yeah, four hours of predictable boring matches. Why the hell am I watching this again? Can it be April 1st today already? Is it too early in the day to start drinking tequila?

Opening Video Package
There was a big storm that hit New York or New Jersey, but New York is awesome and Americans are the best!
1/10

Video Package
Wrestlers are unbreakable like New York. That's not what the "Don't Try This at Home" videos always tell me.
4/10

We are only 6 minutes in and I've already heard this year's theme song twice. I am going to get sick of that really quick.


Opening Match
6-Man Tag Match
Sheamus, Big Show & Randy Orton vs The Shield
Why would you choose Big Show as your tag partner? They explained last year that he never wins at WrestleMania - you have no one to blame but yourselves!
Michael Cole seems to think "chaos" and "calculated" mean the same thing. He needs a dictionary. And a brain. And a less annoying voice.
Winners = The Shield via pinfall on Randy Orton
5/10

Video Package
John Cena is sad because he lost to The Rock - it even led to his divorce. I thought that had more to do with him sleeing with WWE divas, or did The Rock make him do that? Was it the stipulation from losing the match?
5/10

Snooki is back, but just in the crowd.


Ryback vs Mark Henry
Michael Cole says there is "so much on the line" with this match. Please tell me what is actually on the line; these are just two big goofs that aren't champions of any form. There is no stipulation attached. And Mark Henry is fat and immobile.
Winner = Mark Henry via pinfall following falling on Ryback
1/10

Ryback hits his finishing move after the match. So he lost because he is useless and then destroyed the guy that won? You both like losers now. Good work.

WWE are sponsoring the Special Olympics or something.

Oh and there is a competition for tickets to WrestleMania XXX.



World Tag Team Championship
Kane & Daniel Bryan (c) vs Dolph Ziggler & Big E Langston (w/AJ Lee)
The twitter feed is scrolling along the bottom of the screen - very distracting.
Winners = Kane & Daniel Bryan via pin on Dolph Ziggler
7/10

Boy, this crowd sure loves Daniel Bryan. WWE should really do something about that.

John Cena brags about granting over 300 wishes for Make-a-Wish.
No one likes a bragger, John.



Chris Jericho vs Fandango
Fandango is a dancer of some sort. Except he is actually not a good dancer. He is also not a good wrestler, because he just gets beat up for 10 minutes without doing anything except getting beat up some more. Until he wins the match?
Winner = Fandango via pinfall rollup
2/10

Commercial for WWE toys.

Video Package
The Rock has millions of fans.
7/10


We've actually had more videos about the main event than we've had actual matches.

Going the Distance - one of the themes from Rocky - is playing in the arena. Yes I know the song. Rocky movies are the best. There is some dialogue from a Run DMC song (Here We Go) spliced in. Oh, this is an intro to Diddy. Remember yesterday when I said he should have performed?



Musical Performance
Diddy doing some songs. It's Diddy. It's all right.
7/10

Video Package
Jack Swagger has a racist manager. Alberto del Rio is the American dream (not Dusty Rhodes?); he was born in Mexico but made in America. That's not what his tattoo says.
7/10


World Heavyweight Championship
Alberto del Rio (c) (w/Ricardo Rodriguez) vs Jack Swagger (w/Zeb Coulter)
Zeb doesn't like immigrants and Swagger is wearing too much makeup.
For a match with such a 'controversial' angle, it really had no heat. And I actually really like Alberto del Rio.
Winner = Alberto del Rio via submission
6/10

WWE support the National Guard. I support not giving a shit.

Video Package
Paul Bearer died for realsies and CM Punk gave no shits about respecting that.
8/10


Musical Performance
Living Colour are here to play Cult of Personality. 7 year-old Logman just lost his mind. Hell, it's 2015 and this song is still one of the most played tracks on my iPod. They should have been given more time to perform the full song. Stupid WWE. I bet if this was the H bomb's entrance they would have been given 20 minutes.

9/10


The Undertaker vs CM Punk (w/Paul Heyman)
CM Punk taunts and mock The Undertaker. The crowd are split but the commentators insist the "CM Punk" chants are really for The Undertaker.
Winner = The Undertaker via pinfall following tombstone piledriver
10/10

Video Package
John Cena wants redemption. I've heard that 50 times already.
5/10


Video Package
Triple H is angry. Brock Lesnar is bad. Logman is bored.
2/10


No Holds Barred
If Triple H Loses, He Must Retire
Triple H (w/Shawn Michaels) vs Brock Lesnar (w/Paul Heyman)
Again, I hate stipulations like this because it makes the outcome abundantly clear. There is no way the H bomb retires at the hands of someone like Brock Lesnar. And all the hype of this match can barely match its yawn power.
Winner = Triple H via pinfall following pedigree on the steel steps
4/10

That just went on forever. It was like they planned on going at it all week.

Promo for The Rock's new movie, Pain & Gain. It was OK.

Hall of Fame highlights. I'd make fun, Bruno Sammartino and Arnold Schwarzenegger were there so it is automatically better than me.



This whole show has been filled with commercials and promos and all sorts of video packages that just do nothing for the show. Except feel like it is a big stupid commercial. Seriously, there have been like 3 video packages that actually relate to matches and 28 that are just to tell us what WWE are doing. And to think a match actually got cut and Living Colour were only allowed to play half of Cult of Personality...


Main Event
WWE Championship
The Rock (c) vs John Cena
No over the top entrances tonight - guess there is one benefit to the last match being an hour long. The commentators are concerned about Cena's ability to handle the "big matches" and then rattle off all the big matches in WrestleMania that he has won. You are all retarded. Except for you, Rocky - you are awesome.
This match is like a video game and you and your friend are just hitting each other with your finishing moves until the other person's power bar finally goes to zero.
Winner = John Cena via pinfall following 100 attitude adjustments
New Champion!
4/10

The Rock raises John Cena's hand to the approval of no one, except John Cena who seems to be enjoying it immensely, as John Cena's rapping plays us out.



WrestleMania XXIX: The Awards
  1. Best Match
    The Undertaker vs CM Punk
    I never really thought CM Punk had a chance at being 'the one', but he acted like such a crazy man that it really worked.
  2. Worst Match
    Ryback vs Mark Henry
    Usually I am all for big dudes having big dude matches. But this was just stupid and neither man came off the winner.
  3. Highlight of the Show
    CM Punk's facial expressions in his match against The Undertaker.
  4. Lowlight of the Show
    This whole show feeling like a 4 hour commercial.
  5. Star of the Show
    John Cena. This whole show - when not being a commercial - was all about his redemption and The Rock 'passing the torch'. Fun facts; John Cena has more title reigns, headlined more pay-per-view shows and been the top guy in the company for much longer than The Rock. In fact, during his 6 year career, The Rock was never really considered the top guy - he was more like the number 2 guy under 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin. So John Cena has actually accomplished far more than The Rock... yet he still was promoted as the underdog and needed The Rock to pass the torch to him.
  6. Best Celebrity Appearance
    Living Colour. Seeing them rock the house was awesome, even if they didn't get to play the song in full.
  7. Worst Celebrity Appearance
    I don't know. The National Guard?
  8. Tonight's Meal
    Today was a return to the breakfast wrap; hash brown, avocado, scrambled eggs, kale, mushrooms & tomato, topped with sweet chilli sauce. 7-Up was about as bad I could be and the Chips Ahoy! with Reese's peanut butter cups were a great way to end things.
  9. T-Shirt Cleanliness
    Just not good. I don't even want to look at it right now.
  10. Overall Score
    BOOOOOOOOORRRING!
    4 out of 10



WrestleMania March Madness, Day Twenty-Eight: WrestleMania XXVIII

1 April 2012
Sun Life Stadium
Miami, Florida - USA

Attendance: 78,363

Commentators: Michael Cole & Jerry 'the King' Lawler

My thoughts before this viewing:
This was another group viewing and as such I remember having a great time. But mostly in the same way as WrestleMania XXVII - we barely paid attention to anything outside of the main event. Hopefully I will pay more attention to everything else on the card today. I say that now, but there will probably be an 18-Diva match with Hornswoggle and Michael Cole as the guest commentators so I can't promise anything. I swear, if I see anything that is close to what I just wrote I will be out of here and back to playing 80's arcade games faster than you can steal my lemonade. Leave it alone! Now let's start the show and see how I go...

America the Beautiful
It's Lillian Garcia again, along with some bullshit military salute or something. Why can't Lillian just sing normally? She's good and all - and this song is lame - but she is just ridiculous with the way she sings all over the place. And I don't think she is quite as good as she seems to think she is.
3/10


She leads the crowd in a "USA" chant.
Oh just fuck off.

Opening Video Package
Once in a lifetime. I'm from the future and I call bullshit.
8/10


Opening Match
World Heavyweight Championship
Sheamus vs Daniel Bryan (c) (w/AJ Lee)
Daniel Bryan is the bad guy - but you wouldn't know it from the crowd reaction. They love him! Which means WWE have to destroy him.
Winner = Sheamus via pinfall in 18 seconds
New Champion!
3/10

And this is why it pays to be friends with the boss.

Backstage
The bad guys are fighting for Team Johnny. He compares their upcoming match tonight to Andre/Hogan and Austin/Hart. I'm from the future and I call bullshit. Hell, even in 2012 I call bullshit.
2/10


Randy Orton vs Kane
Kane is back in the mask and his hair has grown back? More of his evil magic powers, no doubt.
The crowd are so excited by this match they chant "Daniel Bryan!"
There is a guy in the front row that can't believe Kane didn't win from a chokeslam, Dude, he never wins from a chokeslam. Oh wait...
Winner = Kane via pinfall following top rope chokeslam
3/10

Backstage
Santino Marella and Mick Foley combine to create the worst backstage segment I have seen in a long time. Ron Simmons enters to say "Damn!" because he has the best job in the world.
-3/10


Video Package
Big Show is big... a big dummy! Especially at WrestleMania.
8/10


Intercontinental Championship
Big Show vs Cody Rhodes (c)
The commentators bury Daniel Bryan so we at home know not to care about him like the fans in the arena.
Winner = Big Show via pinfall following KO punch event though it should be illegal
New Champion!
4/10


Big Show starts crying. Add that to his embarrassing WrestleMania moments.


Video Package
The Divas brag about their job. OK then?
3/10


Kelly Kelly & Maria Menounos vs Beth Phoenix & Eve Torres
They show a video of why this match is happening. I wish they hadn't.
Winners = Kelly Kelly & Maria Menounos via Maria pinning Beth
2/10

Nothing like having a TV show host pin your Diva's champion.

Backstage
Matt Striker talks to Shawn Michaels, who is just typical Shawn Michaels and say nothing.
3/10





Jim Ross comes out for commentary. Because the H bomb gets the best for his matches.


Hell in a Cell - End of an Era Match
Undertaker vs Triple H
Guest Referee: Shawn Michaels
What does "End of an Era" even mean?
I'm guessing it is why the H bomb spends half of this match yelling at Michaels to "end it!", which gets really old really really quickly. A second referee comes out and gets chokeslammed, which he sells for about 12 minutes. Must have been the deadliest chokeslam in history. And then they kinda rip off the ending to WrestleMania XXVI.
Just way lamer.
Winner = Undertaker via pinfall following tombstone piledriver
5/10

Hall of Fame highlights. Ric Flair thanked Chris Benoit but they didn't it. Mike Tyson made a joke about when he was arrested and people laugh? Yeah, it's funny he raped a girl.

Backstage
Heath Slater wants to work with Flo Rida, who does not have a sense of humour.
8/10


Team Teddy vs Team Johnny
For control of Raw and Smackdown
I can not begin to describe for you just how much indifference I feel towards this match.
Winners = Team Johnny following The Miz pinning Zack Ryder
3/10

After he gets pinned at WrestleMania, Eve kicks him in the balls. If I'm learning anything from this WrestleMania, it's that you should not try and get yourself over with the fans or WWE will kill your career.

More highlights of WrestleMania week and all the good WWE do for the world. If I'm learning anything else from this WrestleMania, it's that WWE is full of bullshit.

Backstage
CM Punk and John Laurinaitis get together for a bit of a chin-wag. Good old Johnny Ace decides that if Punk gets disqualified or counted out he will lose his title. CM Punk still has his lip-piercing here. I he doesn't get another one before his UFC debut.
7/10


Video Package
Chris Jericho thinks he is better than CM Punk because people in Punk's family have substance abuse problems. And people wonder why I am so done with Chris Jericho...
5/10


WWE Championship
CM Punk (c) vs Chris Jericho
These guys get the coolest entrances. As much as I dislike Chris Jericho, I certainly admire his choice in jackets.
And I post this so you have an idea of the scale of things. Is best viewed with Cult of Personality by Living Colour playing in the background:
After that awesome, this match starts with lots yells like "Your Father's a drunk!" and "Your sister's a drug addict!". Fucking cringe.
Remember when Johnny Ace said if CM Punk gets counted out he loses the title? Someone needs to remind Chris Jericho. And the commentators; they just said that he was pulling Punk back into the ring because it was the only way he can win the title. You are all stupid.
At least the end of this was good.
Winner = CM Punk via submission
7/10

Brodus Clay calls his 'Momma'.
I call my psychiatrist to find out what compells me to continue this marathon.
-3/10


Video Package
The Rock vs John Cena is the biggest Main Event in the history of WWE. I'm from the future and can't argue with the numbers. Chris Jericho claims this will be the greatest Main Event of all time. I'm from the future and I call bullshit.
9/10

Musical Performance
Diddy is here to introduce Machine Gun Kelly. Diddy should have performed instead. Machine Gun Kelly suck worse than Metallica. They even end their performance by saying John Cena is the biggest underdog tonight. Oh fuck off and learn some musical skill.
-1/10


Musical Performance
Flo Rida has a cool mic stand.

He changes the whole last verse of Wild Ones to rap about The Rock kicking ass and beating John Cena. Flo Rida is cool.
9/10


Main Event
The Rock vs John Cena
Note to WWE: near-falls would work much better if wrestlers still won matches from things like suplexes and rollups, otherwise you have to do like this match and have dudes constantly kick out of finishing moves.
Winner = The Rock via pinfall following rock bottom for like the third time
7/10

The Rock celebrates as his theme plays us out.




WrestleMania XXVIII: The Awards


  1. Best Match
    The Rock vs John Cena
    This match didn't involve someone yelling at their opponent about their family being a drug addict or a drunk.
  2. Worst Match
    Kelly Kelly & Maria Menounos vs Beth Phoenix & Eve Torres
    Maria Menounos is about as good a wrestler as Kelly Kelly. Think about that.
  3. Highlight of the Show
    Flo Rida beating up Heath Slater. The guy is actually huge and made Slater look like a chump.
  4. Lowlight of the Show
    Mick Foley and Santino Marella attacking their dinner with their sock puppets.
  5. Star of the Show
    The Rock. Because The Rock is so obviously a bigger star than anyone else on this show it is hilarious.
  6. Best Celebrity Appearance
    Flo Rida. He looked like he wanted no part of that backstage segment, beat up a clown with a Southern drawl, and then rocked the house with his songs. Thumbs up from me!
  7. Worst Celebrity Appearance
    Those Machine Gun Kelly clowns. Their music is bad and they should feel bad.
  8. Tonight's Meal
    Tonight was a collection of flavours; avocado, kale, red onion, tomato, cucumber, capsicum, carrot hummus and falafel topped with fried mushrooms and sweet chilli sauce. Was very tasty and filling. Being the weekend, I moved back to 7-Up. I should have stuck with Pepsi Next. And added tequila. Maybe one-fifth Pepsi Next and four-fifths tequila. The Chips Ahoy! with Reese's peanut butter cups were again very wonderful.
  9. T-Shirt Cleanliness
    Even the logo has gross stuff stuck to it now.
  10. Overall Score
    Jeepers - what a way to kill a good run! All the backstage stuff was awful, some of the video packages were fun and then the matches were mostly boring. Or quick and boring. The main event and the WWE championship match were good enough, but there was just something missing all night. Remember at WrestleMania III how all night you heard from Hogan and Andre, which just added to the drama and got me excited for the main event? This show had none of that; not a single promo by one of the greatest promo men of all time? No John Cena telling us how bad he needed to win? Just a video package telling us this was going to be the biggest main event of all time - I think that hurt it a bit. And that Triple H/Undertaker match is by far the most overrated match possible. Just an overblown spotfest that meant nothing. End of an era? Both are still wrestling and stuff - what was the point? Oh well, tomorrow is another day. Another day of WrestleMania... damn!

WrestleMania March Madness, Day Twenty-Seven: WrestleMania XXVII

3 April 2011
Georgia Dome
Atlanta, Georgia - USA

Attendance: 71,617

Commentators: Michael Cole, Jerry 'the King' Lawler & Josh Mathews

My thoughts before this viewing:
This was my first 'group viewing' of a WrestleMania since X-Seven. Like I've said before, watching these with others is the best way to enjoy them. We got together to watch because, of course, The Rock was returning to be awesome. He was. I believe we drank and ate fish and chips and generally didn't pay too much attention unless The Rock was on screen or the match was between people the others knew. It was good fun but I certainly do not remember this being a great WrestleMania. Apart from one match, I don't remember anything else being particularly outstanding. So let's see if the buzz of Bret Hart can be built upon by a returning Dwayne Johnson to make this show fun for me and everyone.

The everyone being my cats. They've been less than impressed with some of these shows.

Onward!

America the Beautiful
Keri Hilson is our singer tonight while the National Guard wave a giant American flag all over the place. She is singing all over the place and it ain't good. That end note was pretty good, though - I think that's what Nicole Scherzinger was wanting to do.
6/10


Opening Video
It's like an intro to a David Letterman show. "And here is your host... The Rock"
5/10


In The Ring
The Rock is here to give us a 10 minute introduction to the show by basically saying nothing. He promises this will be the most memorable WrestleMania in history.
7/10


Video Package
Oh another one? Fair enough - this one is actually for WrestleMania and not The Rock.
8/10



Opening Match
World Heavyweight Championship
Edge (c) (w/Christian) vs Alberto Del Rio (w/Brodus Clay & Ricardo Rodriguez)
Remember when winning the Royal Rumble meant you got to main event WrestleMania? Now I guess it means you get to open the show...
Edge has not come in as World Heavyweight champion as the last 3 WrestleManias, so don't believe the lies the commentators try to tell you. I forgot about this; Michael Cole is now the biggest bad guy in the company. He even has his own protective booth where he does commentary from. He is even more annoying than ever.
Winner = Edge via pinfall following spear
8/10


Edge smashes up Alberto Del Rio's fancy car. So, sore winner?
Hero!


Rey Mysterio vs Cody Rhodes
This year Rey is Captain America.
So I guess that makes Cody Rhodes the Winter Soldier?
Winner = Cody Rhodes via pinfall following crossrhodes
7/10

The arguing between the commentators is incredibly tiresome and distracting. Even Josh Mathews is already sick of it.


Backstage
Snood Dogg is here again! He is auditioning WWE Superstars to see who can go on tour with him. So much awful. And then Hornswoggle raps and I lose a piece of my soul.
-2/10


Big Show, Kane, Santino Marella & Kofi Kingston vs The Corre



This match was quicker than I could type how not interested I am.
Winners = the good guys following a punch to someone's face from Big Show
1/10

That's such bullshit; a closed fist is an illegal move in pro-wrestling, yet Big Show keeps doing it and winning matches using it. Get some better referees! And preferably ones that don't get knocked out in main events.

Backstage
The Rock hits on Eve. The dude sure has balls - she's married to a Gracie. He calls Mae Young a "divasaurus". I wish they were extinct. Good comedy here... and then this happens:
10/10

Video Package
Randy Orton kicked CM Punk in the head 3 years ago so Punk is finally getting revenge. Well, I guess at least he is acting on it a bit quicker than Orton would have.
8/10


Randy Orton vs CM Punk
CM Punk tries to be Bret Hart, but isn't quite there. But damn he is close.
Winner = Randy Orton via pinfall following RKO out of nowhere
8/10

Backstage
'Mean' Gene Okerlund tells The Rock that this WrestleMania is going great and The Rock thanks him. Not sure why you take the credit there, Rocky - you've done very little so far. Though you have been a far more active host than Kim Kardashian. Your ass is nowhere near as good, though. Anyway, The Rock meets John Cena's #1 fan - it's Pee Wee Herman. Again, all sorts of comedy that is actually funny. A rarity for WWE.
10/10


The Hall of Fame inductees are presented. Drew Carey finally made it in after such a long illustrious career in pro-wrestling. Hopefully my induction isn't too far away.


Jerry 'the King' Lawler vs Michael Cole (w/Jack Swagger)
Special Referee: 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin
Booker T and Jim Ross take over commentary. Michael Cole starts the match with a promo that goes longer than The Rock's introduction to the show. Then the match goes even longer. Like, waaaaaaaay too long. Especially since most of it is Michael Fcking Cole on offense. Finally, Lawler gets the upper hand and Steve Austin makes the end entertaining, but this was just not something that should have gone 20 minutes.
Winner = Jerry 'the King' Lawler via submission
1/10

Austin and Lawler celebrate and beat up Booker T for trying to join in the party. Then the Anonymous Raw General Manager pipes up on its laptop and announces that Austin cheated on Lawler's behalf, so Jerry Lawler is disqualified.

Winner = Michael Cole via disqualification
-5/10

Fuck you.

So Austin and Lawler beat up Josh Mathews for reading that email.
Alcohol problems and bullying, kids - those are the qualities of a hero.

Video Package
Triple H will do what no other man could do - end the streak!
Good luck, you've already failed before. Though WWE seem to make sure they don't mention that. Btw, Undertaker, you have not faced 18 men: you faced both Kane and Shawn Michaels twice, but then you did face two men at the same time once. So the correct total is 17. Did everyone at WWE fail mathematics at school?
8/10


No Holds Barred
Undertaker vs Triple H
The H bomb thinks he is Conan again and comes out to a Metallica song so as to make me dislike him and Metallica even more. Undertaker comes out to Johnny Cash so is so much more bad ass it isn't funny.
You know what else isn't funny? This match. It is fantastic.
Winner = Undertaker via submission
10/10

Triple H did actually have me and my friend fooled when first watching this match.
Undertaker actually has to be stretchered off because he took so much of a beating.


Mixed Tag Match
John Morrison, Trish Stratus & Snooki vs Dolph Ziggler & LayCool (w/Vickie Guerrero)
Remember Snooki? This was when she was kinda famous, I guess. She is pretty damn short! And she can actually do this:
Winners = the good team following Snooki's gymnastics
3/10

Video Package
Entirely dedicated to The Miz's rise from loser on a reality show to being a loser as the WWE Champion.
4/10


Main Event
WWE Championship
John Cena vs The Miz (c) (w/Alex Riley)
The Miz has big letters on the stage that spell out "AWESOME". My, how original!
John Cena has a huge intro again, this time with a choir and a prayer and other bullshit. Sounds like DMX talking. Why is DMX not here???
Jim Ross says this is Cena's 8th straight WrestleMania main event. You are a fucking moron, Jim Ross - he has main evented a total of 2 times before this. Opening match does not count as a "main event". Co-main event does not count as "main event". You are less believable than The Miz is as WWE Champion.
Fuck off.
Draw via double countout
3/10

The Rock comes out but before he can say anything, the Anonymous Raw General Manager sends an email. Why is the General Manager for a TV show getting to interfere with the results of a different TV show? The Rock starts reading the email, then decides 'fuck you, computer!'
The Rock orders the match to restart - "No countout, not DQ, no cryin' to your momma!"

WWE Championship
John Cena vs The Miz (c) (w/Alex Riley)
The match restarts... and The Rock takes out John Cena.
Winner = The Miz via pinfall following The Rock pwning John Cena
5/10


The Miz would like to celebrate successfully defending his title at WrestleMania, but that's just stupid so The Rock hits him with a Rock Bottom and then the people's elbow because fuck you it's The Rock's show!

The Rock celebrates as his theme sends us out.



WrestleMania XXVII: The Awards

  1. Best Match
    The Undertaker vs Triple H
    I can't stand Triple H and everything about him... but that was one awesome match. The fact he is such a scumbag in real life made this match work even more for me because I figured he would be the type of guy to make sure he ended the streak.
  2. Worst Match
    Jerry 'the King' Lawler vs Michael Cole
    Michael Cole is bad enough announcer. Now we know why he is not a wrestler instead. But seriously, that was time you could have spend doing something far more entertaining.
  3. Highlight of the Show
    The Rock cracking comedy with Pee Wee Herman.
  4. Lowlight of the Show
    Hornswoggle rapping.
  5. Star of the Show
    The Rock. Not even close. He lifted this show and made me interested like no one has done since he left. And make no mistake, this show was aaaaalll about him.
  6. Best Celebrity Appearance
    The Rock - technically I am allowed to use him, because he is a famous actor and was not here in a 'wrestling' capacity. Fuck you, it's my awards!
  7. Worst Celebrity Appearance
    Snoop Dogg. Snooki was actually more entertaining - think about that.
  8. Tonight's Meal
    Tonight was a weird combo; avocado, eggplant, onion, tomato, mushrooms, capsicum & chilli beans topped with carrot hummus. Was a strange combo but quite tasty and rather healthy, I thought. Back on the Pepsi Next since it is Friday night and I'm a party up in here. Reeses' Chips Ahoys are awesome. But real awesome, not that fake 'Miz is Awesome' style.
  9. T-Shirt Cleanliness
    Didn't do too badly tonight. Though it is currently dark and I can't actually see it right now.
  10. Overall Score
    Another enjoyable show! It went kinda downhill after Triple H beat the hell out of the Undertaker, or maybe I was just a bit burnt out after that match. But not nearly as bad as I remember it being. Maybe this home stretch is going to be some good times? Or maybe Pepsi Next is actually code for tequila and cocaine?
    5 out of 10



2025 in 2025: Day 197

Somehow I have made it to the end of the year with 17 albums to go. What a trip... 愛泥C - Charisma.com Like always, big beats, dreamy vocals,...
